5G & beyond
New network generations unlock capacity, latency, and services.
The definitive professional program for Network Operations, OSS/BSS, Customer Experience, 5G and Network Data, and Telecom AI. Five deep tracks, hands-on labs, and a governed, enterprise-grade view of how modern telecom operators actually run - for professionals, teams, and the organizations transforming them.
Telecommunications is the infrastructure the digital world runs on, and the sector is being rebuilt around 5G, edge, and AI. Network virtualization, edge computing, IoT, and automation are transforming how networks are built and run, while saturated markets shift the battle to customer experience and new revenue. Professionals who understand how telecom actually works - the networks, the OSS and BSS, the customer, and the data and AI now woven through all of them - are the ones who lead this change rather than react to it.
This program is built for that reality. It is organized into five deep, practitioner-led tracks that trace the industry end to end, each grounded in how real operators run and reinforced with hands-on labs. It is designed to be equally valuable to a graduate entering telecom, an analyst deepening a specialism, and an enterprise upskilling a whole team - across the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, India, and Australia.
This program serves the breadth of telecom. That includes network operations, OSS, BSS, and billing professionals; revenue-assurance, fraud, and customer-experience teams; telecom and network data engineers and scientists; 5G, edge, and IoT engineers; AIOps and automation practitioners; consultants; and those entering the sector - graduates and MBA students alike.
The program is deliberately structured to build durable capability rather than surface familiarity. Each track opens with the domain model - how the business actually works - then connects it to the systems, data, and controls that implement it, and finally to a hands-on lab where you build a working artefact. This domain-to-system-to-build progression is what turns knowledge into capability.
Throughout, the emphasis is on operational and commercial impact. You do not just learn to build a churn model or a network-analytics view; you learn to connect it to revenue, experience, and reliability, and to deploy it in a governed, monitored way. Delivery is flexible - self-paced, mentor-led cohorts, and tailored corporate programs - and the outcome in every case is portfolio-ready work and a credential that reflects real ability.
Every telecom professional now needs fluency that spans networks, business systems, customer, and technology. These forces explain why.

The foundation of telecom: how networks are built, run, and kept healthy. This track builds a precise model of network architecture across access, core, and transport, the operational support systems (OSS) that manage inventory, provisioning, fault, and performance, and the assurance disciplines that keep service quality high. It covers fixed, mobile, and converged networks and the shift toward software-defined, virtualized infrastructure.
Network operations is where telecom service quality and cost are determined. Professionals who understand OSS, assurance, and network data can connect the physical and virtual network to analytics and automation, and find where reliability and efficiency are won or lost.
A network assurance and fault-analytics flow - correlating alarms, performance, and topology to detect and prioritize service-affecting issues.
Build a network fault-and-performance analytics view: ingest alarms and KPIs, correlate to topology, and prioritize service-affecting incidents.
How telecom monetizes service: the business support systems (BSS) that handle customers, orders, products, and - critically - billing, charging, and revenue management. This track covers the product catalog, order-to-cash, rating and charging, invoicing, revenue assurance, and the fraud and leakage controls that protect a huge revenue base.
Billing and revenue management govern the money in telecom, and expertise is scarce and valuable. Professionals who understand BSS, charging, and revenue assurance can reduce leakage, speed monetization of new products, and pass the scrutiny of finance and audit.
A revenue-assurance and leakage-analytics flow - reconciling usage, rating, and billing to find and quantify revenue leakage.
Design a revenue-assurance pipeline: reconcile usage to rating to billing, and surface leakage and anomalies with explainable signals.
How telecom acquires, serves, and retains customers: CRM, the customer journey across channels, and the analytics that drive experience and loyalty. This track covers segmentation, churn, next-best-action, care and contact-center operations, and the customer 360 that unifies it all - the levers that determine customer value in a saturated, competitive market.
In a saturated market, customer experience and retention are the battleground. Professionals who can build customer 360, predict churn, and drive next-best-action directly improve loyalty and lifetime value - the metrics operators most care about.
A churn-prediction and next-best-action flow - identifying at-risk high-value customers and driving targeted retention actions.
Build a churn-and-retention model: engineer customer features, predict churn, and design the next-best-action it should trigger.
The technology frontier of telecom: 5G and its architecture, network slicing, and the explosion of network and telemetry data it produces, plus edge computing and the new services they enable. This track covers 5G core and RAN concepts, network data at scale, edge and IoT, and how operators turn network capability into new revenue.
5G and edge are where telecom's next growth and complexity concentrate. Professionals who understand 5G architecture, network data, and edge can build the data foundations and services that turn network investment into monetizable capability.
A 5G network-data pipeline - ingesting large-scale telemetry to analyse quality, capacity, and slice performance.
Build a network-data pipeline for 5G telemetry: ingest at scale, model quality and capacity KPIs, and surface optimization opportunities.
How telecom applies data and AI across the business: analytics and BI, machine learning for churn, fraud, and network, and the automation and AIOps that run modern networks and operations. This track shows how models and automation move telecom from reactive to predictive and self-optimizing, under appropriate governance.
AI and automation are transforming telecom economics, from AIOps that self-heal networks to ML that predicts churn and fraud. Professionals who can build governed telecom AI and automation lead the transformation that defines competitive operators.
An AIOps flow - using ML to detect, correlate, and remediate network issues faster and with less manual effort.
Build an AIOps proof-of-concept: detect anomalies in network data, correlate to likely cause, and recommend or trigger remediation.
To understand telecom, you have to follow the flow. A network is planned and provisioned; operations, fault, and performance management keep it running; service assurance protects quality; customers are acquired, ordered, and served through products and catalog; rating, charging, and billing monetize usage; revenue assurance and fraud management protect the money; care, churn, and retention manage the relationship; and network and customer analytics, AIOps, and automation increasingly drive the whole cycle. Each stage produces data the next depends on.

The network is the product, and operational support systems are how it is run. Networks span access (the last mile), core (packet and signalling), and transport, increasingly virtualized through NFV and SDN and extended by 5G and edge. OSS manages the inventory, provisioning, fault, and performance of it all, and service assurance ties these together to protect quality. The program teaches this not as abstract architecture but as the operational reality that generates enormous data - and the foundation on which telecom analytics and automation are built.
Business support systems are how telecom turns network usage into revenue. The customer, order, and product catalog define what is sold; rating and charging convert usage into chargeable events; billing and invoicing produce the bill; and revenue assurance reconciles the whole chain to catch leakage before it becomes lost money. Fraud management protects the same revenue from abuse. Because telecom operates at massive transaction volumes and thin margins, small leakage rates translate into large sums - which is why the professionals who understand BSS and revenue assurance are so valuable.
Telecom is global but regulated locally. The program addresses the major markets a modern professional works across - the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe, the Middle East, India, Singapore, and Australia - with attention to the market structures, spectrum regimes, and regulations specific to each. Market concentration and pricing differ by region; 5G rollout varies widely; and privacy and telecom regulation, while globally themed, are locally enforced.
This global-yet-precise perspective is deliberate. Organizations operate across borders, and the professionals who understand both the universal patterns and the local specifics are the ones who can work anywhere and lead cross-border programs.
Modern telecom is a stack. At the base sit OSS and BSS systems - inventory, fault, performance, billing, charging, and CRM - increasingly virtualized through NFV and SDN and extended by 5G core, RAN, edge, and IoT. Above them runs the modern data stack: Snowflake and Databricks for storage and compute, Kafka and Spark for large-scale network telemetry, and Python, SQL, and Power BI for analysis. An AI and automation layer - AIOps, churn and fraud ML, and governed generative systems - sits on top, deployed on cloud.

An operator plans and runs a network, provisions and assures services, acquires and bills customers, manages revenue and fraud, cares for and retains customers, and increasingly uses analytics and AI across all of it. The program traces this lifecycle explicitly.
Operational Support Systems manage the network - inventory, provisioning, fault, and performance - keeping service running and quality high.
Business Support Systems handle the commercial side - customers, orders, products, and billing - turning network usage into revenue.
OSS runs the network and service; BSS runs the business and monetization. Together they cover the operator's operational and commercial systems.
Revenue assurance reconciles usage, rating, and billing to detect and recover revenue leakage - a major concern given telecom's scale and thin margins.
Revenue leakage is revenue an operator is entitled to but fails to bill or collect, due to errors across the usage-to-billing chain.
Rating and charging convert network usage into chargeable events and amounts, based on the customer's plan and the product catalog.
Order-to-cash is the end-to-end flow from a customer order through provisioning and service delivery to billing and payment.
Churn is the rate at which customers leave. Predicting and reducing churn is central to value in a saturated, competitive market.
Next-best-action uses analytics to determine the most valuable action - offer, retention, or care - to take for a customer at a given moment.
Customer 360 unifies a customer's data across network, billing, care, and channels into a single view that powers analytics and experience.
